Cyclic-twinned Cerussite (Will Henderson Coll.)

Item Description

Cyclic-twinned cerussites are a classic species from the famed Tsumeb Mine and this is a very elegant thumbnail example. Water-clear, elongated gem blades with adamantine luster and pretty light smoky color comprise this cutie. I particulary like the form of the seven stellate blades, with the three on the front being much wider than the four on the back. Beautifully pristine. Choice material. Ex Will Henderson Collection, a well-known, longtime mineral author and collector. He was formerly a columnist for the Mineralogicl Record.
